Executive Chiropractic of Iowas September 2017 Healthy Newsletter

Research reports that those who take advantage of rehabilitation after back disc surgery find themselves with more favorable treatment outcomes in the year following the back surgery. They go back to work. (1) Some back surgery patients do not undergo rehabilitation by choice or by not being directed to do it. For those who experience continued pain after back surgery (also known as “failed back surgical syndrome”), West Des Moines chiropractic Cox Technic spinal manipulation care may help relieve the pain without further surgical intervention. A study of 69 post-surgical continued pain patients seeing a chiropractor using Cox Technic documents that 81% of these patients achieved greater than 50% pain relief in 11 visits over a 49-day period of active care. (2) That can be enough relief to return these patients to enjoy their lives again! If you, a loved one or a friend didn’t do any rehab work after back surgery and/or are suffering back pain post-back surgery, Executive Chiropractic of Iowa can help with gentle, research-documented, West Des Moines chiropractic care and treatment.

Exercise is helpful for the nutritional state of your spinal discs! The discs are comprised of glycosaminoglycans which are comprised of chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, glucosamine sulfate. Researchers describe that physical exercise doesn’t reduce glycosaminoglycans; exercise enhances their concentration even in overtraining situations. (3) Plus doing some muscle strengthening activities twice a week lowers your chances of low back pain. (4) Ask Executive Chiropractic of Iowa about chondroitin sulfate supplementation and exercise as accompaniments to your West Des Moines chiropractic treatment plan for your disc’s health and healing!
